Police on Monday warned township residents about a scam involving fraudulent calls by people who pretend to be employees of the Internal Revenue Service, telling would-be victims that they owe money.

"Our department has recently received numerous complaints from residents regarding receiving fraudulent calls," said Detective Lt. Steve Dollinger. "The caller claims that the person owes the IRS money from unpaid taxes. This is a scam."
